WHAT IS PIGMENTATION TREATMENT?
Pigmentation treatments address unwanted dark spots, melasma, sun damage, and uneven skin tone using advanced techniques such as laser therapy, IPL, chemical peels, microneedling with skin-lightening serums, or topical prescription products. A qualified practitioner will assess your pigmentation type and recommend the most effective approach.
COMMON TYPES TREATED:
- Sun damage and age spots
- Melasma and hormonal pigmentation
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (from acne or injury)
- Freckles
- Uneven skin tone

What to Expect
Treatment depends on the method chosen. Lasers and IPL target melanin with light energy, breaking down pigmented cells. Chemical peels exfoliate damaged layers. Microneedling with brightening serums promotes cell turnover. Each approach encourages the body to shed pigmented cells and reveal clearer, more even-toned skin.

I cannot thank Dr Kate and her team for going above and beyond, from clinical expertise and aesthetic artistry, to objective, no nonsense advice combined with compassion. You are in excellent hands with Dr Kate and her entire team and will feel truly looked after and cared for. I was thoroughly impressed from day 1 and came away with some solid recommendations for the short, medium and long term to manage my concerns, including some stubborn hyperpigmentation under my eyes, which is already starting to improve! Thank you everyone for all your help. That little bit of help meant a massive leap in confidence for me.x

I went to Dr Sha's Clinic for a facial treatment and honestly, it’s become one of the best decisions I’ve made for my skin. Dr Sha is incredibly professional and genuinely skilled, and what really stood out to me was how easy she was to reach whenever I had a question. That level of care is something I haven’t experienced with other aestheticians or clinicians. The results have been amazing. My hyperpigmentation is quickly becoming a thing of the past, and I’ve stopped wearing makeup when I go out because I finally feel confident in my own skin. My family and friends keep telling me how unbelievable the change is. I’m on a one year treatment plan and these results are from less than three months in. The treatment is still ongoing, and I honestly can’t imagine how good my skin will look in a few more months. I’m truly grateful for the whole experience and would recommend her without hesitation.

I visited elixir clinic and had a consultation with Lyndsey today. I have been using Zo Skin Health products now for 10months and I needed to restock. Lyndsey and I chatted about what would be best for me at this stage and listened to what she recommended and she listened to my concerns. I’m pleased to say we made a plan and I have made a further appointment for next week to discuss my treatment for pigmentation with Alisha. Thank you Lyndsey once again.

Massive thanks to Holly, who has literally given me a new lease of life. I really thought that my skin issue was beyond help having 'suffered' with it for 30+ years. Holly's professionalism, discretion and approachable nature is outstanding. She made me feel at ease from day one. Nothing is too much and she always has a welcoming smile. I'll definitely be recommending her to family and friends. Keep up the amazing work 💪🏻☺️ Thank you to Oskar also for our lovely chats 💚☘️🥂👏🏻

I visited Revalis Skin and Aesthetics Clinic for pigmentation treatment and couldn't be happier with the results! The staff were warm, knowledgeable, and made me feel at ease throughout the process. Dr. Natalia was fantastic - she carefully assessed my skin, explained the treatment plan in detail, and ensured I was comfortable every step of the way. The procedure itself was quick and painless and my pigmentation has faded dramatically after just 1 session! Even after the treatment they provided clear aftercare instructions ad followed up to monitor my progress - proof to their genuine dedication to patient results. My skin looks brighter and more even than it has in years! I couldn't recommend this clinic more highly. If you are looking for a clinic that combines top-tier talent and heartfelt patient care, this is the place!

I have been a patient at Finer Lines for a number of months and the care I have received has been second to none. Nicky put me at my ease from day one and explained everything, in detail. My main issue was the level of pigmentation on my neck and following just two treatments, the improvement was quite amazing! I am on a journey to improve the condition of my skin in many respects and I am in the best hands.

If you have ever considered having any sort of cosmetic procedure or want informed skincare advice… Viviene has to be your go to clinician! She offers a really relaxed atmosphere where you can explore all the different options available for turning back the years and achieving glowing skin again! Viviene spends a lot of time listening to what troubles you most then carefully devices a bespoke package to help you achieve your desired results according to your budget. There is never any ‘hard sell’ or rush to make a decision. I have suffered from pigmentation for many years now and have tried a lot of different treatments, but none have given satisfactory results until now… I’m only halfway through the treatment and my pigmentation Has almost disappeared and it’s given me a newfound confidence. I’ve also tried EMS Which is brilliant and can’t wait to try some of the other procedures on offer. Viviene is extremely knowledgeable and keep’s up-to-date with all the new treatments on the market. She comes from a nursing background and office a safe professional working environment. On top of all that she is a Really lovely person who always has her clients best interest at heart. I highly recommend Aesthetic Klinik 😀

Amazing treatment with a very professional and knowledgeable technician. Great pre service delivery and great after care. My skin has improved in way of texture, colouring and pigmentation. I no longer need to wear foundation and feel confident to go out with make up.
